Delay now starts at the moment the spell is cast, not after Veigar finishes his cast animation

Luden’s Echo, the new 120 AP Item, has received its in-game icon.

Luden’s Echo

Cost: 3100 Gold

Builds out of a Needlessly Large Rod (1600 Gold) and Aether Wisp (850 Gold)

Grants 120 AP and 7% Movement Speed

UNIQUE Passive: Gain charges upon moving or casting. At 100 charges, the next spell hit expends all charges to deal 100 (+0.15 AP) bonus magic damage to up to 4 targets hit.

Luden’s Echo has a tooltip icon similar to the one of Statikk Shiv. At 100 charges, purple bolts come out of the spell’s first (or only) target and seek nearby enemies to hit.

The recently-announcedÂ Mandrake Ward is now available for testing. Note, it may not be available for Patch 5.5.

Mandrake Ward

Costs 35 Gold

Click to Consume: Summons a sentry to run and burrow in target brush (within 1200 range) for 2 minutes. While burrowed, it becomes blind and invisible but will ping the map if a visible or invisible enemy is within 1000 range.

(Counts as a Stealth Ward)(May only carry 3 Stealth Wards at a time.)

The Mandrake Ward needs to target a brush. When cast, a small sapling walks towards the brush and plants itself, pinging once when an enemy walks into that brush, be it visible or invisible, and then disappears. If you don’t target a brush, you’ll receive an error message.

Bard’s lore for antsÂ is now available:

“Bard travels through realms beyond the imagination of mortal beings. Some of Valoran’s greatest scholars have spent their lives trying to understand the mysteries he embodies. This enigmatic spirit has been given many names throughout the history of Valoran, but titles such as Cosmic Vagabond and Great Caretaker only capture a fleeting aspect of his true purpose. When the unknowable structure of the universe is threatened, Bard steers all existence away from utter annihilation.”
